Chapter 1

Magic=Genetic

Can skip generations

 It’s also possible that the children of muggles several generations removed from magical heritage can possess magical ability; these individuals are often described as “Muggle-born”.

Glowing ball of energy = Your center. 

Magic= life blood. 

 Intention based magic

Wingardium Leviosa=the Levitation Charm..

One of the earliest known spells = Hover Charm. 

Once cast upon an object that you are physically touching in some way, it allows you to move that object up and down.

Rocket Charm. Does not require that you be touching your target. Straight up and down. The height somewhat controllable depending upon the effort put into it

 Floating Charm -Can target a distant object. Involves controlled vertical movement. Objects can only be levitated a handful of feet into the air and up and down.

The Levitation Charm is the closest the Wizarding World has come to true flight. vertical movement of an object and side to side movement.Height is also less of a restriction, though levitating or maintaining levitation on something very far away can be difficult. The charm even allows you to lift objects normally too heavy for you to lift yourself, though this also requires some effort.

The only known limitation of the Levitation Charm is that it fails to work on humans. Can charm the clothing that a person is wearing but donen't work well

Wingardium Leviosa (wing-GAR-dee-um levi-O-sa): Swish and Flick (raise your wand toward the left and then let it glide gently toward the right, wand tip pointed forward. Then move the tip of your wand back toward your body before flicking it in the direction of your target.)

Focus on target. As you finish the spell, make sure you are still focusing on this object or you might inadvertently levitate something you had not meant to. Also visualize drawing energy from your core and directing it through your wand. 

As you say Wingardium start the “Swish” motion. Time the swish so that it ends just after you begin saying Leviosa. Then, as you finish saying Leviosa, do the “Flick”. And remember, keep your mind focused on the target of your spell and visualize drawing energy from your body as we practiced before
